Legmeerpleinbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Legmeerstraat brings you the classic Amsterdam feel: a 1931 build with an energy label C, set in a quiet street just off the lively Hoofddorpplein area. With 59 m² of living space, it's compact but well-proportioned. The asking price of €535,000 is 28% below the neighbourhood average of €745,647, which makes it a keen entry point compared to other apartments in Amsterdam.
The Legmeerpleinbuurt is a dense, urban pocket with a real mix of ages, many singles and young professionals, but also families with children. It's a very strong urban area (address density over 7,700 per km²), so there's always life on the streets. The housing stock is almost entirely pre-war (89% built before 1945), and most homes are apartments. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of energy label C (57%), which is typical for this era. There are no resident reviews available for this area, but the figures show a lively, well-connected part of Amsterdam. For more context, see the Legmeerpleinbuurt neighbourhood.

Families will find primary schools a couple of streets away, Cultuurprofielschool De Notenkraker and Oecumenische basisschool Nautilus are both within a five-minute walk. Secondary education is also close by, with the Montessori Lyceum Oostpoort about a ten-minute walk. The area is well served by public transport, and the train station is 1.8 km away.

About Legmeerstraat 4H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €535,000 is 28% below the average asking price in the Legmeerpleinbuurt (€745,647), but the apartment is also smaller than average (59 m² vs 83 m²). The median asking price in the neighbourhood is €500,000, so this home is priced slightly above the median. Given the compact size and pre-war character, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is C, which is typical for a 1931 apartment. A C label means the home has reasonable insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy costs, but no specific amounts are available from the listing.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km from the apartment, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The area is well connected by tram and bus as well.
The Legmeerpleinbuurt has a mix of households: about 30% are singles, 17% are couples without children, and 12% are families with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area has parks and playgrounds nearby. It's a dense urban neighbourhood with a strong community feel.
The floor area is 59 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is in a pre-war building, so outdoor space is not guaranteed.
